If you have 12 minutes to spare, you can make your own tiny electric motor out of BuckyBalls. Graham Nash's BuckyBall motor tutorial. (Image via YouTube) YouTube user Graham Nash creates tutorials on ...

An international research team has shown that materials can look and act like superconductors, even when they aren’t technically superconductors. Potassium-doped carbon fullerenes are known ...

Chemists have discovered that tiny gold 'seed' particles, a key ingredient in one of the most common nanoparticle recipes, are one and the same as gold buckyballs, 32-atom spheres that are cousins of ...

The marvel of superconductors is their ability to carry electricity without any loss. A superconducting ring, for example, can theoretically sustain a looping current indefinitely. The catch, however, ...

Since brochosomes were first discovered coating leafhoppers’ exoskeleton, their unique buckyball shape has puzzled scientists. Why expend precious energy to make such trypophobia-inducing structures ...
